but it says Hedwig And The Angry Inch [2001]

 

harry potter was earlier ;] anyways whats so special about it?

 

Facts first re: the deliriously inventive rock & roll movie musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch: The unit of measure in the title refers to the stub of flesh left after a botched operation meant to transform Hansel, a uniquely dreamy boy living in 1960s East Germany, into Hedwig, who sacrifices his penis to escape communism as the wife of an American GI. What with one soap opera crisis and another, Hedwig finds herself living in Kansas, singing crummy gigs with her ''internationally ignored'' band (called, neatly, the Angry Inch) and stalking her former lover and protégé, Tommy Gnosis (Michael Pitt, bless him for his teen-faced earnestness), who has stolen her songs, broken her heart, and become the rock star she was meant to be.

 

Love, fame, self-acceptance, fabulous wigs — Hedwig achieves everything Moulin Rouge aspires to with far less effort. John Cameron Mitchell directs and stars in the riotous, loving, and only occasionally pathos-milking film adaptation of his own acclaimed Off Broadway play, with great up-your-ante music and lyrics by Stephen Trask. And Mitchell has done the damn difficult thing of giving a staged work a look that honors the original medium while recognizing that movies are a whole other shebang. (Emily Hubley's lilting animations enhance the carnival.) Among the fine costars, Miriam Shor, with a pasted-on beard, stands out as Yitzhak, Hedwig's underappreciated husband.

 

copy and paste jobie-but basically it's a god damn awesome thought provoking funny rock n roll musical.

Do you think musical tastes have anything to do with someones orientation?

Hmm, well I listen to R'n'B, pop (if you can still call it that), some types of rock, indie.

 

So, you tell me :/

Well i was pretty surprised when i got chatted up at a (very straight atmosphered) rock/metal club once by someone that wouldn't even make a blip on a gaydar screen, it made me wonder how many other gay/bi ppl there are who just blend in and go unnoticed.

 

It also made me think "how'd he know? was i that obvious?" (turned out he knew someone that knew me)

 

http://www.shortbusthemovie.com/thefilm.php < uncensored video of one of the most sexual explicit films to get a non-porno related release. Also had me in tears laughing lol

 

Wow, cool trailer/gallery :smile: looks like 1 for the dvd collection (one day in the distant future when i have money again)... was it straight-to-dvd?

It had mainstream-ish theatrical release in america, and limited release here around last october. I should be getting either the DVD or Resident Evil 4 Wii today-i really don't know which i'll prefer lol

 

I've been waiting to see this film since about september so i can wait for it to be sub £12.

This is my only problem with the gay community. You are just homosexual, there's nothing different about you. Gay people choose to dress, talk and act differently which is a result of the social group influencing itself. Thats fine but when people start dressing like that to label themselves as gay, thats when i draw the line. Why does the gay community feel the need to makes itself conspicuous then at the same time complain that everyone treats them differently.

 

To me, i think that a guy hitting on a guy should be the same as a guy hitting on a girl. The question shouldnt be "are they straight or not?" it should be "do they like me?" Solves problems.

Fine i'll respond to this.

 

Ok some gay people feel the need to show they are gay. I mean how else would someone know. That's what i think and it sounds stupid but it's the best I could come up with. I myself don't act like this at all.

Yes, but there's no need to treat being gay as your entire personality as some people seem to. Its riciculous. Surely they can either just tell someone their gay when the time asks, or just not say anything and carry on being generally normal?

 

I mean someone being gay shouldn't have any affect on their personality really should it? I mean in the sense of acting overly camp etc.
